1984 1984 as an Anti-Utopian Novel A utopia is an
ideal or perfect community. While some writers
have created fictional places that embody their
ideals societies, other writers have written
satires that ridicule existing conditions of
society, or anti-utopias, which show possible
future societies that are anything but ideal. In
1984 , George Orwell presents a terrifying picture
of future as life under the constant surveillance
of Big Brother. This book 1984 is an anti-utopian
novel. The main character Winston Smith lives in
the large political country Oceania, which is
eternally at war with one of two huge countries,
Eurasia and Eastasia. At any moment all existing
records show either that O ...

A Modest Proposal - 1,260 words
A Modest Proposal Unlike most essays, Jonathan
Swift's A Modest Proposal is written for the
reader to see through what the narrator is
expressing. The narrator does not want the reader
to agree that the solution to overpopulation and
poverty in Ireland is to eat babies, he wants the
reader to see there needs to be a practical
solution. By stating the advantages and objections
to his proposal, using ironic words and phrases,
he directs the reader not to see the apparent, but
the implicit. Swift's narrative voice
metaphorically compares the Irish to pigs and
cows, which implies the Irish are being treated
subhumanly. Although something seems one way to
the narrator, Jonathan Swift wants the re ...

there was a card similar to the ration book, which
would ration gas to each car a week. People were

to the war effort. One of the greatest aspects of
World War 2 was the unity of all the people of the
United States. Everyone was united in helping to
fight this war and having freedom reign over
tyranny. Now a days people are spoiled, wasteful
and all about themselves. During the war, another
great aspect was the role of women in America.
Before the war women were just seen as housewives,

Animal Farm - 1,306 words
Animal Farm Many great works have been inspired by
events in history. George Orwells Animal Farm
provides an unusual outlook on the Russian
Revolution and its leaders by using animals to
represent their human counterparts. Orwell attacks
communist society and points out weaknesses in its
government officials. He calls for a close
examination of the treatment of Russian citizens
and questions whether they have any rights at all.
Orwell was careful in his designation of animals
in Animal Farm, especially in regards to the power
reserved for the pigs. Animal Farm uses the
perfect combination of animal symbolism to relate
the occurrences on Manor Farm to actual historical
events of the Russian R ...

technology laden information society, where media

greater light including violence, rape, birth

decreased (Two 1), yet the cause for the dissolve

equalization of women in the work force. No longer

Attitudes Towards Animals In Neolithic And Assyrian Times - 834 words
Attitudes Towards Animals in Neolithic and
Assyrian Times Attitudes Towards Animals in
Neolithic and Assyrian Times Animals have been
viewed differently by different cultures. This is
evident when comparing the wall painting of a deer
hunt from the Neolithic period (Gardner, 38) and
the reliefs of Ashurbanipal hunting lions and the
dying lions from the Assyrian dominated period of
the ancient near east (Gardner, 56). The deer hunt
scene, painted at Catal Huyuk c. 5750 BC, depicts
several humans hunting two large deer and one
small deer. The reliefs, sculpted at Nineveh c.
650 BC, consist of King Ashurbanipal sitting in a
chariot and shooting several lions with his bow
and arrow, and a close- ...

imposter. The Salon claimed that he had taken a
statue and just molded right over it with new
material. When Rodin found out what he was being
accused of, he rushed to the press and had
pictures taken to prove that he was not an
imposter, and to prove that the sculpture was not
exactly like the human body. Finally, the Salon
concluded that it was not the same thing and Rodin
said, "I have learned how to use it [bronze

about. Many Chinese and Japanese came to the
United States and saw it first hand from the
1860's on (Iriye, 39). For the Chinese the
personal meeting did not make as grand of an
impression as it did for the Japanese. For
example, the Japanese were almost desperately
interested in learning more about the military
strength and power that the West held. However,

death through the use of the analogies in the poem
"Thanatopsis." Although each poet presents death
differently, the meanings are similar. In
"Thanatopsis, " Bryant influences the reader to
accept death as all living things' fate. Bryant
explains death by nature's laws and the fact that
nature's creatures must abide by these laws. In
lines 26-28, Bryant explains how an individual
must abide by these laws and surrender to the
earth that nourished the living. "To be a brother

they refuse to accept their sexual orientation. It
has become easier for them to keep their choices a
secret and do not flaunt their preference in
public or on their jobs in fear of being
ridiculed. They feel that their private lives
should be kept behind close doors. By not "coming
out" they can keep their jobs, housing, dignity,

in society. But many have chosen to fight back and
